The University of Nebraska Foundation was established on June 3, 1936, with one purpose: to raise private support to strengthen the University of Nebraska.
That purpose has guided the foundation over the past nine decades, advancing students, faculty, research and facilities across the University of Nebraska system.
What started with a small group of committed leaders and a handful of gifts has grown into one of the nation’s leading university foundations. From the beginning, this work has been defined by University of Nebraska Foundation Trustees—volunteer leaders and advocates who believed in what the university could become and chose to invest in it.
